I’ve read many wing!fics where the angels don’t mind having their feathers touched by humans the first instance they manifest them to us. And while I appreciate a good tooth-rotting fluffy wing!fic, I can’t help but imagine Cas being IMPOSSIBLY reserved about his wings. And one day, Dean shyly asks him if he can see his wings (not just a shadow cast upon a wall) and Cas blushes. Like properly avoiding Dean’s eyes and stuttering nervously as he tries to explain that wings are very personal to angels.
And instead of pressuring him, Dean understands. He just accepts the fact that Cas is not ready to take that step in their relationship, so he waits.
For years.
Until finally one day, on their 15th anniversary, Cas wakes Dean up looking nervous as hell, his puppy eyes staring at Dean helplessly. The hunter sits up, a worried frown on his face.
“Cas sweetheart, everything alright?”
“Happy anniversary, Dean. I have a special present for you”
And then, Dean knows what Cas is about to do and he goes quiet. He takes Cas’ hand in his and smiles encouragingly. That’s when Dean is met with the most beautiful sight he has ever laid eyes upon. Huge dark ebony wings, reaching up to the ceiling and spanning from one end of their shared bedroom to the other. All Dean can do is stare in awe as he feels an unfamiliar, but not unpleasant, warmth fill his chest.
“Apologies for their dishevelled appearance. They’ve been through a lot, and I haven’t had the heart to groom them in years…”
“Cas” Dean wished he knew how to express in human words how incredibly perfect, powerful and divine the angel looked, but every word failed him. “Cas, I love you”
And suddenly, a warm smile appeared on Cas’ lips, the corners of his eyes crinkling with mirth.
“I love you too, Dean”
Cas doesn’t show them again, and Dean never mentions it again either. He knows how hard it had been for Cas to convince himself to manifest his wings to Dean in the first place. The angel’s act had been one of love and unconditional trust in the hunter.
And Dean would never dare take advantage of that.
I loved each and every one of Sam’s lines this episode, they were absolute gold.
“So… do they always just… walk away from dead bodies or…?”

A grandiose entrance is always the Castiel’s way.
So for everyone who was wondering about how serious we could be with this episode on a meta level: here you have TWO DIFFERENT PAINTINGS of Archangel Michael with his sword in the background of a scene where a yellow-eyed monster puts the girls on the ceiling, and Castiel leaps, and falls to save his new friends.
Yeah, I think it’s safe to meta this episode. Obviously the Scooby Doo crew had done their homework. I am super impressed.
The Dean-Cave or the Fortress of Dean-a-tude
All I’m saying is…
- There is no way that foosball table, the recliners, nor the jukebox could fit in the Impala.
- Yes, Dean could have used the truck.
- However…
- Have you ever tried to manhandle a recliner down a set of stairs by yourself?
- Or a foosball table?
- Or a jukebox?
- Dean is certainly not inept at handling large objects. [looks into the camera]
- However…
- Sam canonically saw this new makeover for the first time in 13x16, which means he did not help redecorate.
- ………….[gestures wildly]
- Can we get an episode with Cas helping Dean move the foosball table 18 times in the room because Dean is being a perfectionist?
- After everything was put in its proper place, did Dean make Cas sit in one of the recliners to watch a movie?
- I have questions.
